Today’s daf is sponsored by David Young and the kids wishing Cantor Natalie Young a happy birthday. “We love you and hope the coming year is full of the light you bring to us and the Jewish Community. Today’s daf is sponsored by Seme Dewees-Cooper in honor of Rabbanit Michelle and the Hadran group. “I started the daf yomi at the beginning of this cycle, but only found Hadran a year ago. Thanks for encouraging women to learn Torah." Today’s daf is sponsored by the Zoom Hadran family in honor of the many events of our virtual family's lives: to the full recovery of Dovid ben Aidel, the ezer k'negdo of our dear Gitta, and in honor of the marriage of Hadas to Noah, son of Julie Mendelsohn and of Nat Perry to Yuda, son of Batsheva Pava. When one wants to dissolve a vow, one goes to a chacham and they can suggest possible reasons why one would never have made the vow in the first place had they known something that... This is called a petach. There is a debate between Rabbi Eliezer and the rabbis whether is it possible to offer a petach regarding the honor of one's father or mother (if you had known that your vow would have a negative effect on how people look at your father/mother...) and for something that was not in the world at the time of the vow and was not expected (nolad). The rabbis forbid and raise difficulty for Rabbi Eliezer that if they allow such a petach (for father and mother), one will also think that one can they will also allow an opening for respect of God and that surely that is impossible! Why is it impossible? There is a dispute between Abaye and Raba to explain. Rav Chisda brings a source to prove Rabbi Eliezer's permitting nolad  from God who permitted Moshe's vow according to something that had not happened and was not expected: "For all the people who seek your soul have died." The rabbis understand that they didn't actually die, just became poor and if so, it is not a case of nolad. The Gemara cites a source that says there are four types of people who are likened to the dead - a person who has no children, a leper, a poor person and a blind person. What are the verses from which it can be proven that all of these are likened to the dead?
